Variable frame rate (VFR)

This camera can perform low speed (undercrank) and high speed (overcrank) recording without the need
for a frame rate converter (the camera must be set to 1080_24p or 1080_30p).

24P mode:
Shoots 24 frames a second in native mode. The images (shot at 24 frames a second) are recorded into 24
frames as the video signal.
• When VFR is set, the INTERVAL REC function, relay recording function, and PRE REC function are
automatically set to OFF, and TCG is automatically set to REC RUN.
• The frame rate cannot be changed during recording.
• VFR shooting is only possible when shooting with REC FORMAT set to 1080_24p, 1080_30p or
1080_25p. VFR shooting does not work in the 720p mode.
The recording frame rate can be set to any one from the 20 frame rates given in the following table.
